Adewale, Segun

Vinyl Records and Rare LPs:

Ojo Je
World Used - LP 5019 Rounder
Hard To Find 1985 Original. Appears Unplayed. “While King Sunny Ade Is The "King" Of Juju Music, Segun Adewale Is The Music's "Crown Prince". Taking The Music Of Ade One Step Further, Adewale Incorporated Funk, Reggae, Pop And Highlife Influences To His Juju Roots To Create An Offshoot That He Calls, "Yopo", Short For Yoruban Pop. Like Ade, Adewale Was Born To A Yoruban Royal Family. Although He Was Encouraged To Become A Lawyer Or A Doctor, He Left School To Seek His Fame And Fortune As A Musician. Adewale's Second U.S. Release Amplifies The Juju Tradition With Heavy Rock Touches In The Guitar Work And A Heavy, Rolling Bass Guitar That Coexist With The Percussion On Pretty Much Even Terms. Which, Of Course, Is How The Style Moves Onward — Feeding On Influences From All Over.” All Music Guide... more details
